Just 7 bags of rubbish were collected plus a lot of old iron and a plastic bin lid. The A & B Council agreed to collect this rubbish. It was good to note that the rubbish collected this year was half that of last year (14 bags plus other items).

Thank you to all who gave up an hour of their time to make our Carrick Castle beach free of rubbish.

What was a concern however was the amount of tree branches and garden waste being dumped on the shoreline by local residents - this shouldn't be happening,

Those wishing to use the visitors' mooring are asked to pay a £10 mooring fee per day/night that will go towards the annual servicing of the moorings.
